Excess logarithmic residues for foliations by curves and applications

Abstract

We introduce excess logarithmic residues for one-dimensional holomorphic foliations tangent to a divisor. They arise from the comparison between the logarithmic normal sheaf and the ordinary normal sheaf of the foliation, and measure the local variation between the logarithmic and classical Baum--Bott contributions. We prove a global residue formula expressing the corresponding Chern numbers as sums of local residues. We then derive a Poincar\'e-type bound for invariant hypersurfaces from the non-negativity of the relevant logarithmic residues. Finally, for a normal Q\mathbb Q-Gorenstein surface YY, we show that the componentwise logarithmic residues of a lifted foliation along the exceptional divisor of a functorial resolution recover the log discrepancies of the singularities of YY, giving a dynamical and foliated test for log canonicity of these singularities.
